Could a blocked 2016
Google Street View of the Skripal home lead to doorstep assassins? TheBigRetort
A click on Google
Street View records a picture of the Sergei Skripal home captured in
April 2009.
But when you use the Google viewer and turn around to
leave the house - and proceed down the street - the image capture
flashes forward... to 2016.
The property can only
be viewed in the 2016 capture at a distance... before jumping back to
2009 as the viewer approaches the house, and a closer view of the property.
Attempts to reverse the
process and turn back towards the house jump from 2016 back... to
2009. So it isn't actually possible to get that close to the property
at the time Skripal was living there.
But why did Street View
not film that portion of the street in 2016 – whilst filming the
rest? Instead, the driver
seems to have done a quick U-turn.
Apparently some
sensitive areas are removed from Street View by the authorities. And
Street View does knit together various footage over the years. But
are we expected to believe that the Skripal section of road has not
been filmed again... in nine years?
Or... is the 2016
close-up of the house being blocked?
Does something in the
capture contain evidence that may record the assassins in action - at the door?
Only time - and
further nearby CCTV footage perhaps? - may tell.

to view the 2009 image. Before Skripal lived at the property. And which jumps forward to 2016... But only when you are a distance away from it. And after
Skripal moved into the house.
